For older petrol heads, the 1974 Countach LP400 (pronounced koon-tash) will always be the most iconic of all supercars that Lamborghini has ever built. Not only was it powerful and futuristic for its time, but it will also remain the most popular and talked-about Lamborghini ever made. While its elder sibling, the Miura may have been lucky to be first-in-line, it was truly the Countach that made Lamborghini into the carmaker that we know today.
To celebrate the Countach’s 50th Anniversary, Lamborghini is rolling out the Countach LPI 800-4: a new state-of-the-art hybrid Countach that costs a whopping $2.6 Million. Lamborghini announced that only 112 units of the supercar will be made and that each of those 112 units has already been pre-sold. If you are a millionaire who just frowned upon hearing that then don’t worry, you still have a chance to get your hands on a Countach LPI 800-4.
Because this raging bull will now be making its way as a new licensed car in Rocket League where it neither is already sold out nor does it cost millions of dollars (only 1100 credits). Not only that, but Psyonix is also bringing a complete bundle that has other exciting items along with the Countach LPI 800-4 Car like engine audio, player banner, and more.

The bundle which costs 1100 rocket league credits (which are currently priced at $9.99) contains a Countach vehicle body that is based on the Dominus hitbox and 5 other items that are exclusively made for the Countach. Psyonix has made it clear that the Countach LPI 800-4 will not be customizable with other in-game items types apart from these five.
Bundle Contents:
- Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Car
- Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Engine Audio
- Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Player Banner
- Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Wheels
- Lamborghini Countach 70s Wheels
- Argento Luna Decal
This is the third time that a licensed Automobili Lamborghini vehicle is making its way into the game. Rocket League players are already familiar with the Lamborghini Huracán that was available at two different times in the past as a part of the Lamborghini Huracán Bundle. The Lamborghini Huracán body was also based on the dominus hitbox.
Early reactions to the announcement of this bundle on Reddit included all kinds of responses from Rocket League players. Some expressed unhappiness over the lack of basic customization options such as the inability to change the default color of the car, others indicated that it would be nice to have the original iconic Countach LP400 also as a part of the bundle, and some were unhappy with the dominus hitbox choice.
On YouTube, the trailer was met largely with positive responses from people. Some users appreciated the stunning design of the car while others were surprised that the car is making its debut in the video game world with Rocket League and not Forza or Gran Turismo.
Lamborghini has also returned to the RLCS as an official sponsor of the RLCS 2021-22 Winter Major which commenced on 23rd March and is currently underway. Players will be able to purchase the Countach Bundle from the Rocket League item shop starting from 30th March to 5th April for all platforms.
Update 30th March 2022: Here’s a video clip with the bundle item in the shop.
